Jade bangles
might be used to interact with heaven and
propitiate the heavenly powers. Traditionally they
associate jade with their five cardinal virtues: charity,
modesty, courage, justice and wisdom. Philosophers
taught that
imperial jade, swallowed under the right conditions,
would confer the ability to live for thousands of years,
the power of rendering oneself invisible, and the
ability to fly.
There are, of course, few
who continue to hold to such beliefs about jadeite, but aside from the
superstitions attaching to jade and jade jewelry, it is,
in fact, a very beautiful stone. In most parts of
southeast Asia if you observe Chinese ladies dressed up
well,

popular jewellery items made from jadeite and
nephrite. They come in all variants of colors
and designs but the most popular are green jades
with Buddha carvings, of course there are others
but a Buddha carving is number one. The come in
different sizes and prices, as usual the most
translucent green saturated the jadeite is, the
higher the price.
Jade rings
are also quite
popular in east Asia sometimes the stone is so
beautiful it almost matches a emerald with a
saturated green, polished, fine textures and no
cracks set into white gold or maybe platinum,
looks great, often the stone has some carved
motives.
Jade bangles
are the most used pieces of jade body
decoration and since there are many stones
that bear a strong resemblance to jade, it needs to be careful
at buy jade. If wanting to buy a piece of jade jewelry it
usually starts with a bangle.
If the jade bangle will be a more
expensive item, lets say over around $ 2000,- take an expert
with you to determine the value since the seller will tell you
anything you want to hear to finish the deal and once you bought
its difficult to retreat so its better to be careful at the
beginning.

Many
Chinese believe
that if a person wears the
green jewelry and is involved in an accident, the
jewelry will be broken but its wearer will be protected.
For the Chinese the green is "the quintessence of heaven
and earth," even surpassing diamonds in value because of
the mythical component which often offsets the sheer
material value. But this is rapidly changing since
jadeite moves into
mainstream more and more.
Jade fashion jewelry
is a cultural look that
somehow evolved in the last few thousand years and
became mainstream, at least in China, when opening up
the country a couple of years ago. Since there was no
possibility and

money to get this kind of
jewelry before there is a a huge gap to fill because
every Chinese women would like to buy that body
decoration, although for Chinese people this is not only
decoration it is rooted in mythology and mysticisms
since long time before. Before it was a everyday item
now it’s mainly jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets,
rings, bangles, pendants and more. Since it available in
almost any color it’s easy to match clothing with a
universal style and elegance.
Most jewels using
the green stone are delightfully designed and it
is not much blended with other precious stones,
maybe a diamond here and there, some silver or
whit gold add on and that’s it. It’s for people
with an obsession for creative things without

Some Chinese believe
that jade is a living stone; its color deepens over time
being of supernatural origin. There are two separate
stones that go by this name: nephrite, a silicate of
calcium and
magnesium, and jadeite a silicate of sodium and
aluminum.
The
fondness from an old Chinese legend which tells how an ancient king was once
cured of an illness by wearing a jade jewelry. Many Chinese like to
wear it because of its alleged protective and curative
powers. It can be worked into exquisite pieces
such as bangles jewelry, beads, earrings, hairpins
and more. |

Interestingly, that name "nephrite,"
from the Greek word
for kidney, reflects the idea that ground-up jade is a cure for
kidney ills. The difference between jadeite and nephrite is not big,
its color, texture and hardness. Jadeite brings better
saturated colors and takes a higher polish, while
nephrite looks more oily than glossy. Although China
has long been the emporium for art objects fashioned in jade it is only
seldom found in China anymore, since deposits are depleted. The
green stone is imported from other
countries, notably
Myanmar or Burma. But now nephrite comes from New
Zealand, and jadeite mainly from Myanmar.
It is also often found in
riverbeds where it has been washed down from the mountains.
It is also quarried from mountains, but for some reason
Chinese prefer riverbed jade, its very smooth. As seen at the
photos
here jadeite comes in a variety of colors ranging
from pure white, through yellow, red, and blue to black
which all is the right material to create beautiful jewelry.

most common in all price ranges
are, the deeper the green and the better
transparency the higher the price,
more.
The price of jades varies tremendously,
more is
involved than just the intrinsic value of a piece. Color, shape,
quality and especially age and golden Myanmar play important roles. In 1960
a piece of carved Chinese jade jewelry was sold at auction for over $16,000.
Jade Prices
vary around the world, too. In Hong Kong
a jade can be obtained for as little as $4. In Myanmar or Burma, the
main source of Jade this days, one can get a very pretty Jade bangle
for about $ 10,- in the
Bogyoke
Aung Sang market in Yangon or Rangoon. But in Europe and America
higher prices for jade jewelry usually prevail. A foremost manufacturer of Hong
Kong is quoted as saying that if a stone is too dark, say, moss
green, or too light, with much yellow tint, that is the sign of an
inferior stone. |

The
best quality jewelry is lush green, vibrant, with a lot of
shine in it. It must be almost translucent
In 1860 a British expedition to Peking sacked the Emperor's Summer
Palace and stole many of his magnificent jades. If one sees an
object today marked "from the Summer Palace, Peking," then one can
be assured of excellent quality, if the tag is telling the truth.
British probably were one of the biggest thieves of all time,
everywhere they came they stole and looted, this was especially bad
in Myanmar and India plus some African countries..
